If you can follow the action, amid all of Spenser's poetic and archaic language, the adventures of Red Cross and Una are exciting. While so much of the poem is an allegory (that is, a character, action, or name which represents something else --- usually an idea, virtue, or tenet of faith) there is still a thread of narrative action which Spenser keeps going. There are many perils and ordeals that Una and Red Cross go through, and, while...

For me it is definitely the allegorical nature of the poem. Nobody did allegory like Spenser, with every character representing something else, and almost every action or plot twist having a larger meaning. The Red Cross knight is made to be wonderfully human, while being really only a representation of "a sinner, everyman" (Hollander and Kermode 169). Spenser, with his greater religious and philosophical purpose in mind all the time,...

quote from wikipedia: Arthur. This is the same Arthur of the Round Table, but he plays a different role here. He is madly in love with the Faerie Queene and spends his time in pursuit of her when not helping the other knights out of their sundry predicaments. Duessa, a lady who personfies Falsehood in Book One, known to Redcrosse as "Fidessa". As the opposite of Una, she represents the "false" religion of the Roman Catholic Church. She is...

In Book I, stanza 36 specifically refers to sleep. "The sad humour loading the eye liddes" (The Literature of Renaissance England 179) does not mean that Red Cross and the Lady are sad or weeping, but merely that they are tired and go to sleep. Morpheus, mentioned in the third line, is the Greek god of sleep and dreams, and he is described as seeking "out mighty charmes, to trouble sleepy mindes" -- that is, send bad dreams to them. ...

There are many religious details and references connected specifically with the description of Red Crosse's attire in this section. He bares the cross of his Lord upon his breast and on his shield, reminding him of the sovereignty of God, and the hope that he has placed in the Lord. Also, in the description on Una's white lamb, Biblical allusions can be drawn. Jesus is refered to in a similar manner, and the white lamb is usually seens as a...

the quick answer is the redcrosse knight represent Protestant Christianity. the dragon represents roman catholics, aurthur represents King Henry the VIII and Una is Queen Elizabeth this particular allegories tells the story of how England was in a theological war with the pope in Rome. it can also be political the allegories keeps going and going it is virtually bottomless. but as long as you remember that the queen needed to be rescued you...
